What is BASIC Anywhere Machine (aka, maybe: BAM)

Next exercise: Let's explore "File Management" for managing all programs (remember:  BASIC Anywhere Machine is like a bottle-garden; it is one file with everything, except programming documentation, in it.)

Click here to open BASIC Anywhere Machine.

Click on the File menu.

Click "Open..."

Here, you can view the list of all programs in BAM sorted alphabetically.

Click on Options to see the dropdown content. Click on the check boxes and play.  (Delete programs too.  That's fine.  You can't save your changes to the server BAM is hosted on.)  Click on programs to open them and view them.

So BASIC Anywhere Machine is like a virtual machine and TiddlyWiki performs the file management duties (here "wiki page" management duties, pages being the equivalent to files) that would be handled by an operating system on a real (or virtual) device.

Another exercise at some point: save (i.e. download) BASIC Anywhere Machine so you have a local copy to do with it as you please.  Which could be a pain to keep up to date with changes I make: easy process pending !
